Traveling Companion

When I left the apartment today, headed for the bus, I happened upon a big friendly labrador. I wasn't in a rush, and neither was he, so we took a walk together. We said our goodbyes when he had to stop off at the hardware store.

In Santiago, the dogs are as friendly as the people. And nearly as numerous. Some of the stray dogs are 'claimed' by people who live or work near them and keep them fed and attentioned. Some even get snazzy collars.

Until Dudley (i.e. my future Great Dane), this suits me fine.
